There is quite an excitement in Spo kane over Southern Oregon gold fields," said M. D. Maboner, an Eastern Oregon mining roan, at the Imperial last even ing. He had jnst returned from Spo kane, from which city be said over 20 mining men left for Grants Pass within a tew days as a result of favorable re ports from experts sent down last sum mer. Mr. Maboney became so impressed with the spirit of the Spokane people that he has decided to visit Josephine county immediately with a view to get ting hold of some of the promising ledg es I here. "Southern Oregon is an old raining country," Mr. Mahoney said, ''but it is old only in placer mining, Millions have been taken out ol creek beds and hillside pockets down there within the past 45 years, but the country has never been prospected (or lasting ledges. When the placer miners of early days ailed to make big wages with a pan or rocker or sluice boxes, or did not succeed iu following some rich hillside pocket lo its biding place, they left the country for other placer fields. Many ledges have been worked in a nap-hazard way with the aid of an arrastra, in recent years, but just as soon as the pay streak gave out, the ledge was abandoned. Many of these abandoned ledges are now proving true fissure veins and Colorado capital has succeeded in making divi dend-paying, whose enterprises always bring other miners out in quest of prop erty adjoining. In this respect mining men are like sheep and Spokane people are heading Southern Orr-gonward, be cause thoy know of some quartx mines being operated there. "Southern Oregon is the most access ible mining region in the world and its mines can be worked the year round. Its being so close and convenient has worked against its development hereto fore, but it is now engaging the allentiou of moneyed mining men at last, and I predict a boom for that region within the next year." Oregonian. Philippine Timber. Captain Ahorn states that from dif ferent sources ol information he is led to believe th public forest lands com prise from one fourth to possibly one half the areaof the Philippines, or from 20,000.000 lo 40,000,000 acres. There sre fully B.OOJ.OOO acre of virgin forests owned by the state in the Islunds of Mindoro and Paradua. The Island of Mindanao, with an area ol some 20,000 000 acres, is almost entiroly covered with timber, and even in the Province of Cayagao, in Luzon, there are more than 2,000,000 acres of forest. In other provinces of Luzon, especially in the country close to Manila, much of the timber has been cut, and to fill large contracts the lumbermen are obliged to go quite a distance from the city in order to find a suitable tract. Captain Ahern mentions tracts of virgin forests to be se.n on the south ern Islands where from 10,000,000 to 20,- 000,000 cubic feel of magnificent timber per acre was standing, with trees more than 150 feet In height, the trunks clear of branches foi 00 feet and more than four feet in diameter, tie states that in these forests there are millions of cubic feet of timber, which Bhould be cut out in order to thin this dense growth, so that the maximum annual growth could be obtained. There Is a large variety of valuable gum, rubber and gutta-percha troes, 17 dye woods and the ylang ylang, the oil from the blossoms of which latter tree is the base of so many perfumes. There are no forest roads or river driveways in the Islands considered worthy of mentioning. At present the trees are felled far from any road, and hauled out very slowly by one or more cariboos, with the result Hint many tracts are left untouched.

To the Editor It has now been over two months since the Mining A Com mercial Club here was organized, and I know of no bettor way to reach the pub lic ear regarding the work it has already accomplished and proposes to accom plish than through the press. The club is now in working order, the organiza tion is practically com pie to, the books and stationery are purchased, and the committees are all appointed. The membership is now over sixty, but by a little effort that number could be in creased to one hundred or more. A large membership however is of no par ticular advantage. Better have fewer and those be willing to do something. The club levied a small assessment on each number two months ago and that has been nearly expended, but the busi ness men and mining men of Grants Pass are not close-fisted, and when more money is needed it can easily be raised, provided the expenditures are judicious. lour hundred circular let- tors have been sent out relative to mln- ng matters, and quite a number of let ters writtton by the secretary. The mining exhibit is meeting with encour agement but two hundred or more cir cular letters will needs be sent out soon to supplement the first ones. If wo had alxmt t?u4 on hand and could send someone out for a couple of months to visit every mine in this district, to write it up and bring iu the ore samples, take the photographs etc., and wo could have fine complete exhibit goon, and of the very best possible to obtain. Hut as there is not anything like that amount of money in the treasury or obtainable just now the idea is not practical. Last ear a fine mineral exhibit was sent from Grants Pass to New Orleans at cost of about (100. It did nut represent alf the urines of Southern Oregon. It was placed on exhibition in only one city. The exhibit that the Mining & Commercial Club huro will prepare will bo a permanent one. It will be in three or four suctions and can bo exhibited at one time in Grants PaHX, Portland, Kan Francisco, and If necessary Buffalo, N. V., at the Pun-Amuricnn exposition. Tho mining mon Uiko hold of the mat ter of an exhibit from the standpoint that Grunts Puns is vitully dependent jn tho success of this mining district, while tho miners caru nothing about the uccofs of Grants Pass on tho business interests nnd therefore, think tlioburdon of this exhibit should full on the busi ness interests of the town. They do not object to tire small too charged to help pay expenses, but they do not want to bother with the rest of the detai'i and some of our mining mon will not bother thcmeslves either. The Mining & Com mcrciul Club will finally complete its exhibit by personally writing up the mines, collecting samples, and colluding the fee. It may be possiblu to get the first section together through corro- IHindonce, which is by fur tho cheapest plan, but the way to get up the complete ollection Is to send some 0110 out among the minors at work. Only three committees, out of the ten standing committees, have yet been cal led together, and there is an abundance of work mapped out for each one. But it is best not to gut too much work on hand at once. Tho principal items of exiienso of the M. & C. Club so fur uro as follows: Postage, ('1.05; printing & books, (12.25 ; miscellaneous exiHjnses, including foes of secretary, (11.20 ; totul (22.05. Nuarly all the expenses incurred so far are of permanent nature, so that the working exiienses from now forward w ill be light I hope something will occur soon to make our business men see, the great benefits w hich run bo secured to Grants Pass by a united effort. Every member of the club should be in attendance at the quarterly meeting on Tuesday, Jan uary, 7, 1001. At that time some action should lie taken towards pushing the work of tho oragnization mora rapidly E. C. Pknti-ani), Secy. Mining & Commorciul Club.

Borne shrewd lobbying is being done In tbe senate la the interests of those who wish to prevent action on the Nicaragua Canal bill at this session, and it ia being done largely in the name of patriotism. The lobbyists have taken advantage of the strong public sentiment in favor of Amerlcanixing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, not to much because they are patriotic, as because they saw therein chance, although slim one, to preveut the passage of the Nicaragua canal bill at (hit session, aud not a lew senators who voted for the Americanising amendments to the treaty uuder tbe impression that they had given their patriotism the benefit of the doubts they entertained, really dial so because of the insidious influences brought to bear on them by the lobbyists the employ of the Panama canal Company. Now that it it certain that the amended treaty will be ratified by the senate, probably before the Christ mas recess, which will begin next Fri day, the question of whether it will delay action on the canal bill, it being asked. Secretary Hay expresses the opinion that England will reject the amended treaty, but that opinion it not held by many tenatort. Should Eng land reject the treaty, the passage of a joint resolution by congress, declaring the Clayton Bulwer treaty abrogated is regarded as certain, bnt all this, at tho slick lobblstt very well know, will con sume time, and if action on the canal it made to wait upon tbe settlement of he treaty question it will hardly take place at thit session. Henatort who realise this, are now urging that the Nicaragua canal bill shall be taken up and passed, regardless of treaties and of what other nations may have to say bout it. Tbe annual convention of the American nstituteot Architects, held la Washing ton, did not like the model of the pro posed additions to the White House, now on exhibition iu the east room of that historic building, and did not hesitate lo say to in a vigorout resolu tion, asking congress not to adopt the plant which hive been prepared, and declaring that "the country will be ustly dissatisfied, if tbe very best possible improvements to the president'! mansion shall not be secured." In addition, committee of eminent architects wat appointed to personally see that congress was made acquainted with the wishes of the convention on this matter, and to ask that a com mission of architects be provided for to draw op plant for the improvement ol the White House. Representative Brick, of Indiana, has olfered a resolution providing (or an nvenligation by a committee of the house, of the disgraceful charge alleging a conspiracy among United Htatei court officials to get hold of the profits of min ing properties in Cape Nome, through placing them in the hands of receiver appointed by the United States court, on trumped up suits. The proposition lo. settle the eensus apportionment question by a caucus ol the bouse msjority, had to be abandoned because of tbe diversity of opinion among the members, and the matter will probably be (ought out on the floor uf the house, after the census comjnittee reports Itt bill, which la likely to provide for an increase in the bouse membership, which will prevent the less of members of any state. Rep resentative Hopkins, chairman ol the census committee, hat introduced a bill of bit own fixing the membership of the house at 357, lit present number, which gives the following status one ember less than they now have Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia, and gives Illinois, Louisiana New Jersey, New York, Minnesota and West Virginia one more member cajh than they now have and Texas two additional members. eeuator Allen baa propsed sn amend mint to the Ship Subsidy bill, now before the senate, providing for the pay mentofe bounty on all agricultural products eiiorted. Senator Ilanua has abandoned hope of getting the bill through the senate before the holidays, and will be very well satisfied to get it through at all. There are signt indicat ing that the interests which are after gutting more reductions in the revenue reduction bill by tbe senate are quietly exerting their influence to defeat the ship subsidy bill, because -they regard ill passage as a Jfoimidable bar lo any further revenue (eduction.

Mr. Wilcox doeeu't talk in Washington as he has been credited with talking in Hawaii He eayt that while he favored the restoration ol the queen before Hawaii was lormally annexed, he Is now in American citixen and that be, and other Uawaiiani, are entirely satisfied with existing conditions, having learned by experience that they enjoy greater privileges than under the royal regime.
